Please have a look at the output of the scm-managers logfile. Are there any stacktraces? — DaSilva2010, Mar 04 '15 at 12:26

Edit your question (the 'edit' link at the bottom of the question) and paste the log in, then select all the log lines and click the `{}` icon in the editor to format them in a code block. — Jeffrey Bosboom, Mar 05 '15 at 21:24

I had similar error, and found the problem to be in corrupt configuration files. Specifically, file wwwroot/scm/.scm/config/repositories.xml had been emptied (for whatever reason). An empty configuration file prevented the start of the application. Both removing the file and restoring a backup solved my problem.
